1921 Wide Spool Perfect Fly Reel -- Press Release 10 Sept 2024

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hardy Perfects the Perfect: The 1921 Wide Spool Perfect Fly Reel Gets an Upgrade

COLUMBIA, S.C. (Sept 10, 2024) - For over 135 years, Hardy has been the name synonymous with “Perfect” fly reels. Never content, the Hardy engineers consistently strive for enhancements in their search for true perfection. Today, Hardy is excited to announce the latest addition to its legendary lineup: the upgraded 1921 Wide Spool Perfect fly reel. Already celebrated as the epitome of excellence in fly fishing reels, this iconic reel has been finely tuned to offer even greater precision, durability, and versatility – enhanced with a nod to the past, ensuring that it remains, well, perfect for years to come. At the core of this upgraded model is the 1921 Perfect check mechanism, a signature feature that has long been celebrated for its precision and reliability among fly fishing aficionados. This classic mechanism has been refined to offer smoother performance, ensuring that anglers continue to enjoy the seamless experience they have come to expect from the Hardy Perfect. The polished brass/bright nickel-plated revolving line guard is a showpiece and adds a nod to the past when old fly lines would pick up debris and degrade the line guard. While a revolving line guard isn’t necessary with today’s modern fly lines, this added touch is the perfect addition marrying historical charm with Hardy’s impeccable craftsmanship. But it’s not just the mechanics that make this reel stand out. The two-toned anodized finish, inspired by the elegant designs of the 1930’s, adds a layer of sophistication and durability, ensuring that the 1921 Wide Spool Perfect is as tough as it is stylish. This upgraded finish complements the reel’s construction, which features bar stock aluminum and a naval brass one-piece spindle – ingredients that make it a reel worth passing down for generations to come. The 1921 Wide Spool Perfect is available in quarter inch size increments starting at 3” and going to 4” and come in both right- and left-hand models. Whether you target small wild trout or bigger game, there’s a Perfect for every purpose. And when it’s time to pack it up and go home for the day, the reel comes housed in a soft leather, sheepskin-lined Hardy reel pouch – keeping your Perfect in pristine condition. With the latest upgrade, Hardy has once again perfected perfection. The 1921 Wide Spool Perfect is a blend of tradition and innovation, allowing anglers to enjoy the best of Hardy’s heritage while benefiting from today’s modern advancements.

The Hardy Resonate: A New Era of Lightweight Precision - Press Release 28 Aug 2024

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Hardy Resonate: A New Era of Lightweight Precision Hardy blends tradition with innovation in its newest lightweight offering perfect for light lines

COLUMBIA, S.C. (August 28, 2024) – Hardy, the name synonymous with fly fishing excellence for over a century, announces the launch of the Resonate, the newest addition to their lineup of freshwater fly reels. The Resonate is not just another fly reel; it is the culmination of Hardy’s ongoing dedication to innovation and tradition, combining lightweight precision with the classic craftsmanship that has defined the Hardy brand for generations. Hardy has long been celebrated for its iconic click check reels, which have graced the hands of discerning anglers around the world. The Resonate takes this legacy a step further, delivering what is arguably their finest lightweight performance reel yet. Blending durability, performance, and that unmistakable Hardy sound, the Resonate brings to life a reel that truly lives up to its name – it resonates with the heartbeat of angling tradition.  The Resonate features a large arbor design, meticulously machined from bar stock aluminum to ensure a perfect balance of strength and lightness. The innovative adjustable click check system, fitted with all-metal load-bearing components, offers anglers total control, whether they’re battling a small stream trout or a big river’s wild steelhead. And with a simple, quick left-to-right conversion, the Resonate is as versatile as it is elegant. At the heart of the Resonate is a commitment to performance without compromise. This reel is designed to be the lightest and most reliable freshwater option available, making it ideal for light line fishing styles. The enclosed line guard frame prevents thin lines, mono rigs, and long leaders from slipping between the frame and spool, while the low startup inertia protects light tippets. The click check mechanism has the largest range of drag adjustability of any performance click check reel Hardy has ever made, making the Resonate as functional as it is beautiful.  For many anglers, the sound of a Hardy reel is as much a part of the experience as the catch. The Resonate preserves this aspect with its adjustable click check mechanism, producing that classic Hardy sound – a sound that not only echoes across rivers but resonates deeply with those who appreciate the finer things in life. The Hardy Resonate is available in three sizes (3000, 4000, and 5000) to cover light weights 1 through 5, Whether you’re a well-seasoned angler or new to the sport, the Resonate is designed to enhance your experiences with the perfect blend of tradition and modern performance. HARDY RESONATE KEY FEATURES • Lightweight but durable design • Enclosed line guard frame • Adjustable click check mechanism • Low start up inertia • Push off spool release • Simple left/right conversion MSRP: $330.00 AVAILABLE: September 2024 For more information about Hardy products, visit www.HardyFishing.com.

Hardy Averon - Press Release

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hardy Averon – Perfection in the Form of a Freshwater Fly Reel Ultra-lightweight reel utilizing Hardy's proven multi-pad disc drag system

COLUMBIA, S.C. (July 10, 2024) - For over 150 years, Hardy has remained the top brand for fly anglers who demand nothing but the best in fishing gear. Known for its unmatched craftsmanship and innovation, Hardy continues to set the standard for meticulously crafted fly gear with the introduction of the Hardy Averon. This reel, which is the core of the Hardy freshwater performance reel range, is an ultra-lightweight disc drag fly reel that delivers the quality and reliability that are the hallmarks of the Hardy brand. Available in half-frame and full-cage models, this new reel offers exceptional performance and versatility for freshwater anglers. The Hardy Averon reel replaces the Hardy Ultradisc fly reel with updated and improved features that set the standard for performance freshwater fly reels. The more durable frame is designed to carefully blend performance, balance, and fishability. This large arbor reel features an open, half-frame design on all models but two – allowing for weight reduction and easy spool changes when different line sizes are required. For specialty applications utilizing thin lines, a closed frame design can be found in the 5000 EN (Euro Nymphing) and 9000 size models where a full-cage is employed for ultra-long leaders, Euro Nymphing, and Spey fishing.   The full cage Euro Nymph model features an interchangeable weight system that allows the angler the ability to fine-tune the rod’s in-hand balance. The 5000EN model also employs a larger arbor than the standard 5000 size – requiring less backing for thin lines and reducing line coils. The 5000EN and standard 5000 size spools are interchangeable and sold separately, allowing anglers to mix and match for their ideal setup.   The Averon has a buttery smooth drag featuring a large and easy-to-adjust drag knob that provides definitive clicks between settings. The drag system is unregulated allowing for fine adjustments, yet the 2.5 turn knob provides quick adjustments. With very low startup inertia, this reel delivers incredible fish-stopping power at a weight that feels balanced in hand.   The Hardy Averon comes in two colors – titanium with gold accents and black with gunmetal accents (varies by size). HARDY AVERON KEY FEATURES Lightweight high-performance disc drag Open frame design (except 9000 & Euro models) Silky smooth, enclosed multi pad disc drag system 2.5 turn indexed drag for quick & precise drag adjustments Ultra-low start up inertia  MODELS: HREAVER30TI • HREAVER50TI • HREAVER70TI • HREAVER90TI • HREAVER30BK • HREAVER50BK • HREAVER70BK MSRP: $395.00 - $450.00 AVAILABLE: August 2024   HARDY EURO AVERON KEY FEATURES Super large arbor, narrow spool design Full cage frame Reduced frame tolerances to reduce line escape Supplied with 3-optional balance weights | 0.6oz • 1.2oz • 1.8oz Optimized for ‘in-hand’ balance MODEL: HRAVER50EN MSRP: $395.00 AVAILABLE: August 2024   For more information about Hardy products, visit www.HardyFishing.com.

IFTD Demo Day 2017

Evenin' Folks,

  I thought I'd start off the series of AFFTA IFTD 2017 posts with a recap of Demo Day.  IFTD Demo Day is an event where members of the media are invited to the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando before the opening of the IFTD Show and given the opportunity to talk with some manufacturers and use their new products on the water, under real conditions with a rep's (or in some cases, the designer's(!!!)) coaching and input.  It really is an incredible opportunity that I very much enjoy.  

  The setup was a little different this year in that all of the participating manufacturers were lined up along one long pond, which really made it easier to get to all the booths and make sure there was time to try all the new toys.  And, I don't want you to think that this was like casting into a 2-inch deep pool like the indoor casting ponds at various fly fishing events.  No, the water hazards of the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes golf course are trophy managed bass ponds.  Certainly not easy ponds to fish, but if you are lucky enough to hook up it's with a largemouth bass worthy of the latest and greatest products being tested.

  Unfortunately, I was skunked.  But, I was skunked using some of the most advanced fly fishing products to date.  And I had a hell of a time doing it and can't wait until Demo Day 2018!  Follow along with the photos below.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of them.  And be on the lookout for the next article in the IFTD 2017 series very soon.

  I hope you're all doing well,

     -Nick

IFTD 2017 Demo Day 7am at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, Orlando, Florida

The J.W. Marriott Hotel at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes Golf Course, Orlando, Florida

Hardy Fly Fishing let me cast one of their new Zephrus Ultralight Series rods in 9' 5-weight with one of their classic Bougle reels.  This setup was designed for delicate presentations and was a pleasure to cast!

The new Salt HD from Sage Fly Fishing has a very soft, smooth cast and the KonneticHD technology helps put the power on for the quick casts that sight fishing saltwater fish requires.

I had the opportunity to cast the new Waterworks-Lamson Center Axis rod and reel side-by-side with an identically outfitted conventional fly rod and reel and the difference was quite astounding! 

At the Scientific Anglers station I got to cast their new Bonefish line on an Orvis Helios 3 rod.  This combination made for near effortless casting of this 8 weight!  I'd really like to spend some more time fishing with this setup!

G. Loomis introduced their new IMX-PRO series of rods this year.  These rods take advantage of the IMX-PRO Matrix graphite that they've been using on their tournament bass rods.  This strong, lightweight rod was a pleasure to cast and with a price tag around $500 it's a high quality rod that's not totally out of reach.

We weren't the only ones fishing at the Ritz-Carlton!

I spent some time talking with Nick (good name!) from Simms Fishing in front of the Simms Bus.  As a Large Outdoorsman myself, I was very happy to hear the Simms has starting increasing the sizes available on some of their more popular lines. 

The Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes is a beautiful venue for the AFFTA IFTD Demo Day.  They hotel even provided drift boats and guides to help put attendees on fish!

New Hardy Sirrus Sintrix fiberglass Rod

I've gotten some questions about the new Hardy Sirrus Sintrix fiberglass rods. I believe it's due out in September. Here's what Hardy says about it: "Sirrus Glass rods are a range of super smooth, deep loading fly rods bringing the advantages of SINTRIX® technology to a classic rod range. Perfectly suited to short range presentations on small streams and creeks the Sirrus range also features incredible impact resistance and an ability to "Self load" at the closest distances." I can totally agree with that! The short cast accuracy was really impressive as was the ability to load for a shorter cast. It'll be available from a 6' 2 weight through an 8' 5 weight!! Shoot me a message if you have any more questions and I'll see about getting them answered!!
